Job Description
£33,000 £38,000 DOE | COMPANY EV | REGIONAL COVERAGE | EXCELLENT BENEFITSYOUR NEXT MOVE COULD BE CLOSER TO HOME
If you're an experienced Fire & Security Engineer living in London or the surrounding areas, how much of your working week is actually spent doing engineering and how much is spent travelling between sites?
Long journeys, heavy traffic, constantly changing locations and wide-area coverage can quickly take their toll.
This opportunity is built differently.
I'm working with an established and highly respected fire and security solutions provider looking to strengthen its engineering team across the London region.
The aim is simple:
Give good engineers a great place to work, keep them working within a sensible regional area, and invest properly in their development.
If you're looking for a role that offers strong benefits, a company EV, genuine training investment and a better overall work-life balance, this could be worth a conversation.

You'll also have access to a dedicated 24-hour technical support team that screens calls before they reach the engineer.
That means fewer unnecessary callouts and better support when you're actually needed on site.
A PATCH THAT MAKES SENSELondon is a huge area.
And anyone working in field engineering knows that the difference between a sensible regional patch and constantly travelling across London can have a massive impact on your working day.
This isn't a role where you're expected to spend your life travelling from one side of London to the other.
The engineering team operates across a regional patch, with the focus on keeping engineers working within a sensible distance of home wherever operationally possible.
For engineers based around:
North London | South London | East London | West London | Central London | Enfield | Barnet | Haringey | Walthamstow | Ilford | Romford | Croydon | Bromley | Sutton | Kingston | Richmond | Ealing | Hounslow | Brent | Harrow | surrounding areas
the role offers the potential to spend significantly less time dealing with unnecessary long-distance travel.
More time carrying out the work.
Less time stuck in traffic.
Less unnecessary mileage.
More time at home.
A better overall work-life balance.
THE COMPANY EVYou'll be provided with a company electric vehicle, with a home charging point installed where suitable.
Where home charging isn't possible, arrangements are available to support vehicle charging.
The vehicle forms part of the overall package and is designed to support engineers working across their regional patch.

WHO I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TOYou could be an experienced Fire & Security Engineer currently working with:
Fire alarm systems
Intruder alarms
CCTV
Access control
Integrated security systems
You'll ideally have solid field-based engineering experience and be comfortable working independently with customers.
You should be confident fault finding, carrying out planned and reactive works, completing installations or maintenance and dealing professionally with customers on site.
Most importantly, you're someone who wants to:
BUILD A CAREER NOT JUST MOVE JOBS.If you're technically capable, customer-focused and want to work for an employer that actually invests in its people, I'd like to hear from you.
NOT ACTIVELY LOOKING?THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FINE.Some of the best conversations I have are with engineers who aren't actively applying for jobs.
Maybe you're happy where you are, but:
You're travelling too far.
You're spending too much time sitting in traffic.
You're covering too large an area.
You're not getting the training you were promised.
The benefits aren't great.
There's no obvious progression.
Or you're simply ready for a better overall package.
If any of that sounds familiar, let's have a confidential conversation.
No pressure. No obligation.
Just an opportunity to find out what's actually available across the London area.
